The value for anything, including that rifle, is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. That said, I have a 1960 110 in great shape with a vintage Weaver K4 scope (also in mint condition) and was offered $1K for the combo by a fellow at our local gun range. If you find someone who really likes those vintage Savage rifles, I'd say $600 isn't out of the question. I've seen a couple go for that on GunBroker. But if it's a rifle your dad bought for you, you might want to keep it. At least, I would.
I bought mine cheap locally and am having a custom 7x57 Mauser barrel made for it. The '06 barrel that was on it was toast. I think it got a lot of field time over the years. I can tell you I had to cut the original barrel nut off mine - first time I've ever had to do that. I hated cutting it because I wanted to preserve that old blued barrel nut, but I had no choice.
Those old barrels are a featherweight contour. If you send your old barrel into McGowans, they can match the contour at no extra charge. That's what I'm doing.
Out of curiosity, what did you do to adjust the trigger? Getting mine consistently and safely below 4.5 lbs. has been a challenge.
